Poppy Parade: Mixed Florals

12 March, 202510 March, 2025 craftwithkate

Week 44 – Poppy Parade

Today we are using the Mixed Media Florals Memories & More Card Pack, the Greetings for All Memories & More Euphemera Pack and the Mixed Florals Bundle.

Card 1 – Mixed Media Florals Memories & More Card Pack and the Greetings for All Memories & More Euphemera Pack for a quick sentiment.

On a Thick Basic White cardbase, I’ve used one of the Mixed Media Florals M&M cards as my background instantly creating a frame. The white frame is die cut using two of the nesting Textured Notes dies and this is added on Dimensionals for some added depth.

The image is stamped in Black Memento ink and coloured using Stampin’ Blends Combo Markers. Die cut using the coordinating dies and glued to the white frame.

The sentiment is also glued to the frame. They are brilliant to add to your cards, especially if you are time poor and need quick sentiments. Some Tinsel Gems were added to finish it off!

Card 2 – is a stepped up verion with the other main image in the Mixed Florals bundle. Adding some On the Go DSP (right) & 2024-26 In Color™ DSP (left) with the stamped/die cut image on top on Dimensionals. I also added the white diecut behind for added interest. Using Stampin’ Blends Combo markers in Calypso Coral, Poppy Parade, Summer Splash & Shy Shamrock to colour it.

I decided to stamp the image again and fussy cut the tulips and oloured them again and added them on top with a Dimensional. Some stamped/coloured/diecut ladybugs were added for cuteness. The sentiment [Beautiful Butterflies] is stamped and fussy cut with a White Ribbon bow attached behind then added to the card on more Dimensionals. I used a retired corner rounder punch for the corners. Some 2024-26 In Color™ Resin Dots are added to finish.

Thanks for dropping by. I hope you join me next Wednesday for inspiration using Pretty Peacock.

Night of Navy: Take to the Sky cards

29 January, 202523 January, 2025 craftwithkate

Week 38 – Night of Navy

Today I feature the Take to the Sky Designer Series Paper (DSP) and the Documenting the Day stamp set, free with a qualifying order during Saleabration (SAB) 2025. I started with a Thick Basic White card (29.7cm x 10.5cm, scored at 7.5cm & 14.9cm). The card front is dry embossed with the So Swirly Embossing Folder which I inked up with Boho Blue ink before putting the card into the folder. The image is from the paper pack and I stamped the sentiment (So Sincere stamp set) in Versamark ink, Gold WOW Emboss Powder added and melted with my Heat Tool. This layer is matted with some DSP and Night of Navy card. Some Natural Tones Linen Thread is wrapped around and tied in a knot before the upper section is glued to the top half of the card base. Some 2023-25 In Color™ Dots are added to finish it off.

Here is how the card stands for display

The inside of the card is a Basic White insert with a matt layer of Night of Navy. I stamped the sun in Boho Blue and the sentiment in Night of Navy. The letters DAD (Documenting the Day stamp set, free with a qualifying order during SAB25) are stamped on extra Basic White card, fussy cut and added to the card insert on Dimensionals. This is so the card front sits up for display!

Card 2 – I stamped the card front with the Elements of Text stamp set in tone on tone before added a layer of Boho Blue card dry embossed with the Timeless Plaid 3D Embossing Folder and also stamped with Elements of Text stamp set. The DSP circle (Spotlight on Nature dies) and the strip with the planes are added next. Some Natural Tones Linen Thread is added behind the sentiment (Hearts of Elegance stamp set). The edges are sponged with Boho Blue ink using a Dauber. Some 2023-25 In Color™ Dots are added.

On the inside, I added a Basic White piece of cardstock to write my sentiment and those circles of DSP, well they are leftover from the circle on the front of the card. I started with the largest circle, but felt it was too big so dicut one size smaller, but felt that was too big also, so cut it down again, leving me with these two circles. So as not to waste them, I added them here!!!

Mossy Meadow: Storybook Friends with Pick a Season

22 January, 202521 January, 2025 craftwithkate

It’s with a sad heart that I inform you, effective immediately, we are no longer continuing with our Art with Heart Colour Creations blog hop for the time being. However, I will still continue to share my projects with you each week, as it is such a great way of getting out of my comfort zone and experimenting with all the colours in the Stampin’ Up! collections, especially those we struggle to use.

So, in saying that, here I am with our next colour, Mossy Meadow!

Week 37 – Mossy Meadow

Today the Storybook Moments Designer Series Paper features with the Everyday Arches dies. You may be wondering where the arches are, but they have been turned into an oval! To do this, run the die through your die cutting machine from the arched end first, but stop when you get 2/3rds of the way along the die and rewind. Remove the die and turn it 180º and line up with the little dots so the die will then cut the other end through your machine, but remember to stop and rewind so it doesn’t cut all the way through. Repeat this with the die one size larger with Mossy Meadow card to create the matt layer.

Stamp the mound image (Storybook Friends stamp set) and colour with your Water Painter and inkpads (Mossy Meadow & Calypso Coral) . Stamp your sentiment and add two of the pre-printed diecut images from the paper pack!

On the inside I used the negative space from the oval die cut to add some ink blending for the panel to write my sentiment. Some more stamping and a a strip of the patterned paper as used on the front of the card!

Storybook Friends stamp set added a cute extra touch to go with the Pick a Season stamp set (free with a $100+ order during Saleabration). I stamped the small house image in the background of my card base, layered a strip of patterned paper across the centre. The oval is created the same way as explained above with the Everyday Arches dies before stamping the tree & grass (Pecan Pie, Mossy Meadow & Calypso Coral). The fence and bunny are stamped in Pecan Pie, the bunny coloured with Blends Combo Markers (Light SU900, Medium SU500 & SU600).

Some Gold Twisted Thread is wrapped around and tied in a knot. This panel is added on Dimensionals and a White WOW heat embossed sentiment (Simply Said), die cut (Happy Little Things dies) and glued on. Three Gold Low Profile Dots are added below.
